- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights on aspects of cinéma du corps or cinema of the body in the film "Des filles en noir," by Jean-Paul Civeyrac. He states that high profile French cinema was stimulated by highly transgressive cinema of the body constituted by French film groups. He mentions that the film resonates with socio-estrangement, anger, and corporeal aspects. Moreover, Civeyrac used the perspective of female adolescents to challenge hegemonic social discourse and nihilism.
